Missiles are set to destroy England in fifty-nine minutes. Everyone should seek immediate shelter.

A tense and captivating read, with strong female leads and a cast of characters that I cared about deeply. - Lisa Ballantyne
Genuinely blew me away. What a novel! I have always loved Holly's writing, but she has truly levelled up - I was completely gripped. 59 Minutes is a race-against-time thriller, but it's so much more than that. It tugged on my heartstrings and had me close to tears on more than one occasion. Impossible to put down. - Clare Mackintosh
Part thriller, part love story, 59 Minutes is a tender contemplation of what it means to be human in the face of an extinction-level event. Peopled with characters whose lives matter from the very first moment, Holly Seddon perfectly captures the panicked, messy chaos of trying to reach loved ones in time, and the bleak yet hopeful aftermath. - Fiona Cummins
